You're going to want a small glass container 10-50mL, a funnel, a coffee filter, a kitchen sieve, and a pint glass or something.

Put a handful of well-mixed soil in the pint glass.

Cover it with distilled water.

Swirl, let sit.

Pour off through the sieve, filter paper in funnel, and into small bottle.

Add several drops of indicator.

Swirl and read color.
